Deportivo–Betis: kick-off time and where to watch LaLiga MD7

Deportivo host Real Betis this Sunday 20 September for LaLiga EA Sports matchday 7. According to Sport, kick-off is at 18:30, with the away side arriving as one of the teams to beat after a strong start: Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis have 15 points from 18 so far, with a single league loss to Levante. Sport also notes their other highlight: a win in their Champions League debut.

A key Riazor test

For Deportivo, the game comes right after their streak ended midweek versus Sevilla. Sport adds that they were unable to score for the first time in that match, meaning the priority is to get back to winning form in front of their home fans. The other talking point is the squad situation: Antonio Hidalgo said there could be changes in the starting XI due to a virus affecting the dressing room. The only confirmed absence is Angeliño Tasende.

On the table, Deportivo head in with nine points from their first six fixtures, sitting seventh and as the top of the three promoted teams so far, with two points ahead of Racing de Santander and six over bottom-placed Málaga.

How to watch

Sport points out that their last league clash at Riazor dates back to 2017/18, when Betis won 0-1 thanks to a goal by Loren Morón. The most recent Deportivo win over Betis was in 2016 in the Copa del Rey (3-1), with goals from Alejandro Arribas, Luisinho and Ryan Babel—Piccini scoring for Betis.

The match will be broadcast live on television and via DAZN LALIGA. Fans can also follow minute-by-minute written updates on LA OPINIÓN. Sport expects Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to be central in Deportivo’s attack.
